What a great day…Olympic hockey!

Quarter finals started early today with some average games. The Swedes beat the Swiss pretty easily and the Finns beat the US in a closer penalty filled match.

Still to come is Slovakia vs Czech and the Russia vs Canada game. I am going to pick the Czech and the Canada to win. That means in the semi-finals we will see Canada vs Finland and Sweden vs Czech.

I am predicting a Czech vs Canada final Gold medal game and a Sweden vs Finland Bronze medal game.

Note: Mattius Ohlund left the Sweden game with an injury, possibly affecting some NHL rumours, so check out some of my predictions below…
